The accelaerator rod at my truck was broken - I don't know which fool has this done. I welded it, but it doesn't fit really. What is wrong at this rod?

I'd say the angle of of right-angled end (for the bell-crank on the post on the block) is off by 90 degrees.
I'll have to check this out, but I think that the right-angled end should be pointing upwards (relative to the way the rod is now placed on the box).

That's on the thicker (1/2") part of the rod. I'll see if I can get you a picture later. I have one that's out of my '55 1st. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 45 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 45 | Check this one from Ebay. This is how it is supposed to curve.
